Sinopsis

"The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown."

Delve into the mind of the master of cosmic horror as he traces the dark lineage of the supernatural tale. In this comprehensive essay, H.P. Lovecraft explores the evolution of fear in fiction—from the primal folklore of the ancients to the sophisticated "Weird Fiction" of the early 20th century. Lovecraft doesn't just list books; he defines the very "atmosphere" required to create true horror, championing works that evoke a "dread of outer unknown forces." For writers, scholars, and fans of the macabre, this is the essential roadmap to the shadows.

The Four Pillars of Terror: Lovecraft identifies the authors he considers the "Modern Masters," providing deep analysis of their techniques:

Arthur Machen: The master of hidden, ancient evils lurking beneath modern England.

Algernon Blackwood: The genius of "Nature Horror" and the expanded human consciousness.

Lord Dunsany: The creator of crystalline, alien dreamworlds.

M.R. James: The architect of the subtle, scholarly ghost story.

A Critical Masterclass: Lovecraft's essay is famous for its glowing tribute to Edgar Allan Poe, whom he credits with reinventing horror as a psychological reality. He also rediscovers "lost" classics like The House on the Borderland and The Yellow Sign, cementing the "Cthulhu Mythos" precursor works into the literary canon.

    Six has always been a number we group things around – Six of the best, six of one half a dozen of another, six feet under, six pack, six degrees of separation and a sixth sense are but a few of the ways we use this number. 
     
    Such is its popularity that we thought it is also a very good way of challenging and investigating an author’s work to give width, brevity, humour and depth across six of their very best. 
     
    In this series we gather together authors whose short stories both rivet the attention and inspire the imagination to visit their gems in a series of six, to roam across an author’s legacy in a few short hours and gain a greater understanding of their writing and, of course, to be lavishly entertained by their ideas, their narrative and their way with words. 
     
    These stories can be surprising and sometimes at a tangent to what we expected, but each is fully formed and a marvellous adventure into the world and words of a literary master.

    The portrayal of Stephen Dedalus's Dublin childhood and youth, his quest for identity through art and his gradual emancipation from the claims of family, religion and Ireland itself, is also an oblique self-portrait of the young James Joyce and a universal testament to the artist's 'eternal imagination'. Both an insight into Joyce's life and childhood, and a unique work of modernist fiction, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is a novel of sexual awakening, religious rebellion and the essential search for voice and meaning that every nascent artist must face in order to blossom fully into themselves.
